Since ChatGPT launched I've been trying to integrate LLMs into my workflows; emails, commits PRSs, or even long chat threads. My instinct was to code a small automation platform, but I found myself limited once again by its own constraints. Went back to zero, twice, and went back to the tools I've been using for years: UNIX pipelines. I started using llm and later mods (now deprecated) and they're great tools, but I wanted something leaner and that would compose better with other tools. Clai doe...

Hey, I'm a former Philosophy lecturer and I have essentially zero experience with llms or how they work. Having said that, much of my adult life has been devoted (wisely or not) to offering up definitions of a variety of phenomena. This sub is a brilliant space for challenging my concepts and prejudices. For example, while reading the post about whether or not a submarine can swim, I found myself flip-flopping about my understanding of what it means "to think". It reminds me of...

I am subbed to various AI-related subs, but I really want to find people doing deep dives on this specifically. Any pointers will be much appreciated. Cheers.

A year ago a decent executor model cost real money per million tokens. Now there are three or four sitting in the near-free tier. On paper that's a collapse. In practice my spend is flat, and the reason is boring. A cheaper model gets re-run. It stops early, or it silently substitutes a literal path where a glob was supposed to go, or it burns most of its output budget thinking before it says anything, and the orchestrator sends it around again. Three cheap attempts at a step is not cheaper th...

Hugging Face Artificial Analysis Should be a sweet spot for general work. Seems like coding is the only part that is inferior to Qwen.

Yesterday I saw a random video about a guy that used chatgpt to basically create farming software for himself rather then paying 10s of thousands of dollars for it. Though we are not in post scarcity for physical products it seems like we are getting there for useful software.

Today I learned that ChatGPT can easily generate a watch face with a specified time. A year ago, this used to be a classic AI fail. You ask for any time, and it draws 10:10, no matter what. Because most of the internet stock photos showed 10:10, and the frontier models majorly learn through imitation learning. It seems OpenAI/Anthropic has specifically trained the model for this use case. What other "10:10 problems" are still out there? Stuff that fails not because the model can...

It's not impossible for Google to compete with openai or Anthropic. They have the resources and money. But there's a trade because of how fucking expensive and resource intensive ai development is. Google, as a company (which the point of companies is to make capital), does not depend on having the top frontier or SOTA models as much as you guys hope. Actually, the top 10 and over don't

Hi there, I'm a software engineer, using LLMs heavily both in my day job and for pet projects, and I started noticing some signs, that are a bit worrying me. Maybe even more than a bit. There are already a lot of claims of how LLMs are addictive, creating non-stop flow of dophamine, as we see how they help us research or build something - and yes, I've noticed it myself. There are also claims that working with LLMs is akin to playing with slot machine - and for pure vibe-coding it is definitel...

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.28607 Aligning large language models to prevent them attributing consciousness to themselves inadvertently alters their representations of mindedness in other entities alongside human beliefs and values. We demonstrate that safety fine-tuning suppresses models' tendencies to attribute minds not only to themselves, but also to non-human animals and natural objects, while also driving a reduction in spiritual belief. Both ablating the learned safety-refusal directio...

https://x.com/i/status/2084319326895804869 We train humanoid robots to vault obstacles, climb platforms, and cross terrain they’ve never seen—all from a single perceptive, whole-body policy. It decides whether to walk, climb, or vault, and switches between skills on its own. No skill labels. No state machines. No motion generators at inference.

The voluntary framework outlined in the June 2nd executive order is complete. Discussions with industry about next steps are underway. Reps from the AI companies will be meeting at WH tomorrow to discuss and get a look. It's unclear whether the framework is now in effect. Companies were lobbying for specific language on issues including open-source as late as last week. Source: The Information

Seeing OpenAI's recent progress surprised me, but what surprised me even more is how little Google DeepMind appears in comparison. DeepMind has arguably done more foundational work in AI for mathematics than anyone else over the past few years, they got AlphaGeometry, AlphaProof, AlphaEvolve and a long history of research on reasoning and search. If you'd asked me a 1-2 years ago which lab would dominate difficult mathematical benchmarks, I probably would have said DeepMind. Is this simply b...

my take: it's true that the ratio of code written to code reviewed has shifted as engineers started to spend more time reviewing code than writing it. no surprise there. but we stopped writing assembly because compilers provide a "deterministic", reproducible translation. we can inspect the generated assembly when something goes wrong. ai generated binaries have neither property, i'd assume - if this is what he's talking about. so the mapping is stochastic, and the output isn't meani...

It's easier than ever to build awesome, fancy looking heros and landing pages for apps. Interactive demos, complex animations, etc. You think of a cool or novel design element and just tell Claude to build it, voila. But then that doesn't always mean it's actually adding any value or helping users I've added some really nice demos lately that I wouldn't have been able to do before vibe coding and they work well, but a stupid simple graphic I added to my H1 is a great example of when this doe...

Its small link creation tool which will redirect users to their correct app store page based on their devices. I needed it for myself as I developed many apps and did not want to generate landing pages, privacy policy, terms pages for every app and wanted to have one sharable link. V1 was launched on April 24 and used by me and to my memory, it got 1 paid user on launch day. V2 was launched on August 25 with the inclusion of Analytics feature and it got 2-3 paid users. And now after 1 ye...

I’m building a Flutter app with monthly/yearly subscriptions. My country isn’t supported for Google Play or Apple merchant payouts, so I’m looking at using a Merchant of Record (like Polar.sh) for checkout instead. The tricky part: I want to avoid violating Play Store/App Store payment policies (no unauthorized external purchase links inside the app, etc.). Has anyone integrated a third-party payment gateway this way and stayed compliant? What approach did you use? submitted by ...

It's so cool to be able to pull Spotify and YouTube music playlists into a music recommendation algorithm that I can fully control 100% of the time. The current usage experience is way better than the YouTube music I've been using all along! Not only that.... Tossed in real-time AI + API quota tracking for Vibe coding on the side… way too satisfying 😂🔥
